Your contribution is appreciated, and you will:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and microservices

• Own features end-to-end, from design and architecture through implementation and deployment

• Collaborate with product, design, and engineering stakeholders to define technical solutions

• Improve system performance, scalability, security, and reliability through debugging and optimization

• Work across areas such as data modeling, service communication, error handling, and system integrations

• Plan and coordinate feature releases to ensure smooth delivery and minimal business impact

• Support and mentor team members through code reviews and knowledge sharing

• Contribute to architectural decisions and continuous improvement of backend systems

• Act as a binding link between engineering teams, ensuring alignment and effective collaboration.

To thrive in this role, we expect you to bring:

• Practical experience designing, building, and debugging APIs, along with working on distributed backend systems

• Deep commitment to software craftsmanship, maintaining clean code, and effective team-based development
